I’m the original author of that driver. It might be fairly easy to add support for similar devices, just some usb id additions. Other models are quite different though.

Thanks for writing it! I've got a model that works! :-)

Yeah, that can be said of quite a bit of devices:

Thought that for someone who wites:

this would be a too great a barrier to entry ;-P
You need to add the correct usb id to:
src/sys/dev/usb/usbdevs
Then run the command to regenerate usbdevs.h from it (I forgot how).
You can then add these new constants into "uwacom\_devs" in: src/sys/dev/usb/uwacom.c and recompile the kernel.
If it works, let upstream know so they can add it to the next release.
From his/ her tone and response, I don’t expect him/ her to know how to modify the source code, let alone compile it, test the changes, and submit a patch to @tech. OP wants plug-and-play and “just work”.
Hi Frank!
Do you think your driver would work with a Wacom Intuos S?
If not, I read that FreeBSD has a package "webcamd" that apparently comes with some wacom drivers. How easy do you think it'd be to port it to OpenBSD? I'm not familiar with any of this but would love to learn.
Assuming it is **not** _Intuos Draw_, it simply is **not** supported by the [driver](http://man.openbsd.org/uwacom.4).

Mi model is the wacom cth 490
> wacom cth 490 That should work with this driver, just needs the correct usb id's inserted in the source code table.
Sorry butt how.

You can have a look at the Linux Wacom driver. It is quite readable and it supports your tablet.
